Abstract
A switch circuit for coupling two circuit terminals together is disclosed. The switch circuit includes a double-base bipolar junction transistor and a field-effect transistor coupled, in series, between a first terminal and a second terminal. Various driver circuits may be employed to activate, in response to an activation of a switch signal, the field-effect transistor, and couple one or both of the base terminals of the double-base bipolar junction transistor to voltage sources to initiate base currents to reduce the channel resistance of the double-base bipolar junction transistor.
